This book chronicles one young fans brush with metal in some early formative years and how he used that to try to launch himself into rock and roll excess.

To me it is more like a finding yourself story. When you were a pre-teen and then a teenager you think you are the only one in the world that can REALLY see things. And you usually find something to believe passionately in. Something that no damn adult will notice. And you just KNOW how cool and life changing it really REALLY is. And then you kind of grow up and break out of the mindset and learn to live.

It's a fun story of that particular journey with a lot of hairspray and some well meaning if especially hideous lyrical content.

I was a heavy metal handmaiden (as I so confidentely referred to myself argh) back in the good old 80s when spandex and hairspray were king. I saw alot of myself in what Seb is talking about.

This is definitely a top notch memoir that is easily read and very easy to relate to.


Great stuff.
